Yes. I discovered an eye opener changing outlets. The way they had them wired I was maxing a 20amp on 12ga through 6 of them back stabbed one feeding the other, no pigtails. Terrible design idea,i cant see how they're even manufactured to allow such a wimpy termination/pass through. @$1 each, just do it. Cheaper than a new home.

At 83 cents each, just do it. Cheaper than a new home.

Nope, unless someone needs to look at it with a code book in their hand. Rodent damage/parallel arc might make it plausible, but at that point just pull new wire.
4) yes,its, cheap, done right it'll also help gross THD generator backup if implemented.
5) Bring two kitchen receptacles (dishwasher and refrigerator) up to code with GFCIs
If its an outlet right next to the sink, justified in my opinion, but I will not tape measure everything. I looked the other way at an outlet that was 64" from the sink. Unfortunately my kitchen I upped to gfci kinda limited the MBWC in all the duplex wall outlets, so I did just the one next to the sink, then pretend the fridge wasn't plugged into anything.
6) Replace the breaker panel because it is 15 years old and (therefore) approaching end of life.
Unless you got some goofy 1950s setup, can't find replacements or corrosion, nope. Unfortunately your question in 2024 just quadrupled - sextupld panel upgrades. My AHJ required all afci on existing circuits with every panel upgrade
I did the math to replace a 24 circuit with today's code, wow, then pay a man to stand there and handle the extra material/components.
My friend dropped his NEC and sold the business towards the end, and before that he stopped doing industrial. More pie for those that want show interest in the CBB.
